"Because Fillrate is everything"

Craze2D! is a simple to use, yet powerful DirectX/DirectShow interface for Visual Basic 6. You can draw sprites and primitives; play movies, music files and sound effects; access keyboard, mouse and joystick data using a completely hardware accelerated API. Just include the class module in your project, create an instance of the Craze2D class and you are ready to go.

I wrote Craze2D! for the VB programmer who is too inexperienced, or just too busy, to pull up a complete multimedia engine for each of his/her programs. I also want to support talented shareware developers, hence the limited commercial license. Craze2D! is highly recycleable, so it assists you in rapid application development.

Payments

This program is Open Source. However, to pay my bills and upgrade my PC, I am dependant on donations. If my software has proven useful to you, consider leaving me some "honorarium" ;-)
